OK, so i am writing this program in C++ that is supposed to append the clipboard text into the edit control inside the Auto-Clipboard tab. I have setup the program so that it supports unicode text.
The program appends the text correctly when i copy text outside the program. But if i copy text that is from the program, it shows me as if it is copying ansi characters that needs to be converted int unicode.
I am not sure if the problem is from the edit control or from the Clipboard. Is the edit control output not in unicode? Or is the clipboard copying as ansi and pasting as unicode?
Edit: So i find out that according to MSDN documentations, WM_COPY in edit controls are handled in CF_TEXT mode instead of CF_UNICODETEXT for the clipboard: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms649022(v=vs.85).aspx
And so, i added some subclassing starting with my AutoClipboardEdit control but for some reason i get currupted heap error on WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD messages. So i am stuck there:
Edit2: I got it working by not freeing the allocated memory of the text string used on the clipboard. In this case the name of the variable is hMem2. It seems that if i free hMem2, the program crashes with a "corrupted heap" error. My guess is that the OS itself manages and frees the memory. It does seem possible since the SetClipboardData argument for the data is a pointer. I also tried to test if memory actually leaked by sending a WM_COPY message into a infinite loop to see if the heap would increase forever; but far it didn't seem so.
So, i need someone to confirm to me that there is no memory leak or that the OS actually does manage and free the clipboard accordingly.
